The 17th-century Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna is the symbol of Kanoni, built on a small islet south of the Kanoni peninsula accessed via a stone pier (this little islet is not to be mixed with the Mouse Island which is bigger and located just behind it). From the church, there are daily boat departures to the tiny Pontikonissi island and it takes only a 5-minute boat ride to reach it. Due to its small size, this lush, green island is known as the “Mouse Island” and the only landmark you can visit here is a small Byzantine chapel dating from the 13th century.

This scenic area can be best admired from two cafeterias located on top of the hill overlooking Vlacherna Monastery and Mouse Island. You will also frequently see airplanes landing and taking off, as the airport lies only a few km from there.

Kerkyra Corfu Cruise Port

• Ports Of Call

Greece 0 Comments 2100 Views

Corfu (Kerkyra) cruise port alongside Athens (Piraeus) is one of the most significant ports of call not only in Greece but in Europe as well in terms of passenger traffic. This island located in close proximity to the West coast of Greece, in the Ionian Sea, in front of the Southern Albania coast is just 40 miles long and 20 miles wide. And yet its comparatively moderate size does not prevent Corfu (with its Kerkyra old town) from being the main attraction of all the Mediterranean cruise itineraries .

Where Cruise Ships Dock in Kerkyra (Corfu) Cruise Port

Annually Corfu cruise port (or Kerkyra cruise port as it is called in Greek) receives more than 450 cruise ships with over 650 000 passengers. Neo Limani (or the new port) is the place where cruise ships visiting Corfu cruise port usually dock. It is very conveniently located as you won’t need to spend much time getting to the main landmarks of Kerkyra after leaving your cruise ship. Free shuttles are available at the port and are always ready to take you to the entrance of the Corfu passenger terminal. However, it is quite reasonable to go on foot, as it takes 5-10 minutes depending on the place of your ship’s docking. 

The distance from the Kerkyra cruise port entrance to the old town of Corfu is approximately 3 kilometers and can be easily covered within 20 minutes (all you need is to turn to the left from the entrance of the cruise terminal and go straight along the sea coast all the time). The bus routes you need in case you don’t want to walk are 16 or 17, both of them stop at the cruise port parking lot and cost about 2 euros. Taxi is also available, the trip costs from 10 euros and it makes sense to use it if there are 3 or 4 of you. 

Kerkyra (Corfu) Cruise Port Hacks

There are two main bus lines in Corfu (Kerkyra) city, the blue bus line and the green bus line. It is a very convenient classification as blue line buses run inside the city of Corfu and its outskirts, whereas green line buses are intended for the Corfu (Kerkyra) suburbs. The bus line service here is very well organized and can deliver you from Kerkyra to the most significant and popular destinations such as Paleokastritsa, Kavos, Ipsos, Kassiopi, and many others). In case you are going to use buses inside the city more than 2 times during your stay at Kerkyra it makes sense to buy a single day ticket which will allow you to use the buses within this day for just 5 euros. For more information please consult https://www.astikoktelkerkyras.gr/indexeg.php  

It is also very convenient to explore Corfu using popular hop-on-hop-off buses. One daily ticket allows you to visit the main city’s attractions accompanied by an 8-language audio guide without losing your precious time. The price starts from 19 euros. For more information please, consult https://city-sightseeing.com/en/44/corfu

Taxi service is also available and well-developed on Corfu Island. And yet, we recommend that you should bargain with taxi drivers as they deliberately can increase prices very often hoping for your unawareness. If you would like to use taxi service in the cruise port to get to the city center you should follow to the end of the parking lot as the first cars in the line are intended for those passengers who are willing to order long-lasting taxi tours around the city and its suburbs. You can also rent a car or a bicycle in Kerkyra as well as in its suburbs. 

How to Get to Kerkyra Cruise Port from Corfu Airport

It is very convenient if Corfu (Kerkyra) cruise port is the departure or embarkation port on your itinerary as the distance between the city of Corfu and Corfu international airport amounts to not more than 5 kilometers. The fastest way to cover the distance is, of course, a taxi which costs 15-20 euros. If you want to save money you can use a bus which costs 1.5 euros (bus line No.15) which will take you from the Corfu airport to the Corfu city center (bus stop San Rocco). You can buy tickets right at the bus from the driver, but in this case, you have to pay in cash.

What to See in Kerkyra (Corfu) Cruise Port?

Corfu (Kerkyra) old town is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage and undoubtedly deserves visiting. In fact, Kerkyra represents one of the most attractive, romantic, and amazing cities not only on the Greek Islands but all over entire Greece. It can boast an impressive number of landmarks such as museums, fortresses, monuments, and temples. 

The old town of Corfu built between two fortresses (the Old and the New ones of the 15th and 19th centuries respectively) represents a unique mixture of Venetian, Sicilian, French, and British architectural styles (as these countries used to dominate this island within various periods of its history). 

Spianada , one of the largest and most remarkable squares in Greece located opposite the Corfu old fortress, with its elegant palace of Saint Michael and Saint George is the first that every tourist faces having entered the old town. 

Achilleion Palace is located 10 kilometers from Corfu town, in the picturesque Gastouri village. The view from this location to the city is breathtaking. If you have enough time don’t hesitate to visit this amazing Corfu landmark.

Mon Repos Palace and Museum is located in the southern part of Corfu city, 2 kilometers far from the old town, in the Paleopolis forest. You can easily reach it on foot walking and enjoying the views or catch the bus route 2A departing from Spianada square every 20 minutes.

Pontikonisi or the famous Mouse Island is very well known far beyond Greece. The unusual name is directly connected with its tiny size. It is located close to the Kanoni Cape (5 kilometers south of the center of Corfu) which is crowned by the amazing Monastery Vlacherna. Kanoni Cape is the place where you can find the shortest airstrip in Europe. It is an unforgettable experience when you can almost literally touch the landing aircraft!

Visit Kanoni and Mouse Island

Kanoni and Mouse Island are two popular attractions on the island of Corfu, both located in the Kanoni area. Kanoni is a picturesque area on the outskirts of Corfu Town that overlooks the Ionian Sea. It’s famous for its panoramic views of the island’s east coast, turquoise waters, and the Vlacherna Monastery. Because it was historically an essential spot for guarding against potential invaders, the area gets its name from the protective cannons previously found here.

Another attraction of the Kanoni area is Mouse Island, also known as Pontikonisi in Greek. It is a little islet right off the coast of Kanoni shaped like a mouse, hence its name. Mouse Island is adorned with a small church dedicated to the Pantokrator, and it is a favorite location for people to take photos and enjoy the surroundings. I’m telling you, this is worth a spot on your Instagram!

Gregorios Manos, a Greek ambassador and art collector who had spent many years in Asia, founded the museum in 1928. It is housed in the Palace of Saint Michael and Saint George, a neoclassical palace previously the seat of the British High Commissioner and dates back to the early 19th century.

In addition to being one of the most picturesque towns in Greece, Corfu Town is the capital of Corfu, the largest city of the Ionian Islands with around 30,000 residents and a UNESCO world heritage site.

Besides the Highlights reviewed below, Corfu has very interesting Museums , Landmarks and Religious Sites that cruise travelers interested in Cultural Heritage should not miss. The Paleokastritsa Monastery is a major highlight of the Island to be visited when exploring sites Out of Town .

Attractions in Corfu Old Town

Corfu Old Town's elegant and unique architecture contains elements of Sicilian, Venetian, French and British design - marking eras when these countries dominated the island.

Corfu Old Town was built between two Venetian fortresses (the New and the Old Fort) both of which are worth a tour. Cruise ship travelers wandering the city's narrow stone streets should not miss the Spianada, one of the most popular and beautiful plazas in the Greece.

The Palace of Saint Michael and Saint Georges on the northern edge of the Spianada is a highlight. One mile south of the Old Town, the Mon Repos Palace is a must see attraction and so is the Achilleion Palace, near the Village of Gastouri - 10 km south of the Old Town.

The Palace of Saint Michael and Saint Georges

This elegant building sits prominently on the northern edge of the Esplanade Square, marked by a long colonnade in Doric style along the front. It was built in Georgian style in 1824 when the English occupied Corfu.

Initially, it housed Sir Thomas Maitland, the first Lord High Commissioner, and later it became the home of the Greek Royal Family. It is also known as City Palace and was designed by Sir George Whitmore. It houses the Museum of Asian Art and the Municipal Gallery.

Old Fortress

The Old Fortress stands on a peninsula to the east of the town. It was constructed by the Venetians in the 15th century and is one of the islands' most impressive sites. Access to the fortress is through an arched entrance from the Spianada, in the Old Town, down a pathway known as the Contafossa.

Within the fortress you will find various cultural attractions and spots for walking and taking in the views.

The New Fortress

Only three decades after the construction of the Old Fortress, the Venetians built the New Fortress to strengthen the island's defenses. It is also known as the Fortress of St. Mark and is located on the northwest side of the Old Town.

Spend some time here meandering through the maze of tunnels and fortifications before ending up at the center where a British citadel stands. You can also do some shopping at the town's fish and vegetable marketplace, which can be found in the dry moat

Achilleion Palace

One of Corfu's most beloved attractions, Achilleion Palace is located in the beautiful village of Gastouri. It was built in 1890 as a summer retreat for Elizabeth, the Empress of Austria, who fell in love with Corfu. The palace's gardens are impeccably landscaped and adorned with statues of Greek gods and goddesses, namely Achilles.

Make sure to bring your camera and attempt to seize the incredible views of the sea and Corfu Old Town. Directly below the palace on the coast, you will see the Kaiser's Bridge, a jetty built for Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany to launch his yacht.

Mon Repos Palace

Situated atop Analipsis Hill, this small but beautiful palace was built in 1926 by British Commissioner Frederic Adams. It is believed to be located on the exact site of the ancient civilization of Corfu. It is particularly notable because Prince Phillip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, was born here in 1921.

Besides the beauty of the building, the lush grounds and its location, it is a must to visit the display of Ionian art and treasures in the Archaeological Museum housed in the palace.

8 Best Things to Do in Corfu (Kerkyra)

A few years ago, we took a cruise that stopped for a day in Corfu — or Kerkyra, as the Greeks like to call it. One of the Ionian Islands, Corfu has long been one of the hottest vacation spots in Greece.

With a charming ancient city that’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site , endless sandy beaches for sunning, and a picturesque backdrop of mountains and sparkling, cerulean waters to tempt the camera, it’s no wonder that visitors consider it one of the best Greek islands to visit . Castles and monasteries are everywhere, there are plenty of things to do in Corfu, and every panoramic drive is full of awe-inspiring views.

Couple all of that with a warm, sunny climate, fresh seafood, and endless flavorful olive oil and local wines. What’s not to love?

It’s little wonder that cruise passengers and holiday goers flock to Corfu’s shores.

A brief history of Corfu

Corfu’s strategic location has made it a coveted piece of real estate. It’s been under the rule of many empires. The end result is that the culture of Kerkyra is a unique blend.

• 734 BCE – Kerkyra began as a Corinthian colony
• 229 BCE – the Roman Republic took over
• 336 AD – after the Roman Empire was divided it became part of the Eastern Empire, whose new capital was Byzantium (a.k.a. Constantinople / modern-day Istanbul).
• 550 AD – the Goths invaded Kerkyra.
• 1081 AD – Corfu was taken by the Normans
• 1084 AD – Corfu was returned to the Byzantine Empire
• 1204 AD – the Venetians regained control
• 1214 AD – the Despots of Epirus took over
• 1267 AD – the Angevins of Naples
• 1368 AD – Venice regained control and built the defensive fortresses you can see today
• 1797 AD – France gained control
• 1814 AD – it became a British protectorate
• 1864 AD – the island was attached to the Kingdom of Greece

And that’s where Corfu is today.

Best things to do in Corfu

If guided shore excursions are on your agenda, try to return early enough to explore the quaint, ancient city known as Corfu Old Town. We suggest reserving three hours or so for these Kerkyra attractions:

1. Achilleion

Our original plan had included a visit to Achilleion, an ornate palace outside of Corfu. The summer palace was built in the 1890s for both Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria and Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm. It’s filled with Greek statuary and has a breathtaking panoramic view of Corfu and the whole southern part of the island.

And then we saw how many buses were waiting for cruise passengers and decided to skip it. Bus tours aren’t for us. We can’t get good photos when there are crowds, and besides, there’s always that one person who slows everyone down.

I kicked myself later, when I realized that we could have booked a private tour and avoided the hassles. Some guided tours take you to both Achilleion AND Old Town Corfu, and as a bonus, they also stop at other places along the way. It would have cost less, too.

Now you know.

2. Old Citadel (Palacio Frourio)

Between the 1300’s and 1700s, Venice built three forts to protect the island. We visited Corfu’s ancient Palacio Frourio (old citadel), which dominates the waterfront.

The Citadel is separated from the island by a narrow moat, but that doesn’t deter anyone from visiting. We joined everyone in crossing the moat to visit the ancient Venetian fortress.

Modern-day warfare being what it is, the old Citadel is more useful for cultural events and concerts these days.

3. Church of St. George

Almost 40 churches are spread around Corfu, and most of them are Orthodox or Roman Catholic. The Church of St. George is an exception, built to serve the religious needs of the Anglican soldiers who served in Corfu during the British occupation.

The Church of St. George is considered one of the largest churches in Corfu. It’s only open once a year … for Easter.

Even though it resembles an ancient Greek temple, it dates from 1840. You’ll find it on the southern flanks of the Palaio Frourio.

4. New Citadel (Neo Frourio)

The treat got better when we turned to see another of Corfu’s fortresses behind us, Neo Frourio (New Citadel). We bought tickets and went inside.

If nothing else, it’s worth the price of admission for the views alone.

5. Church of St. Spyridon (Áyios Spyrídon)

Corfu’s main church is dedicated to its patron Saint Spyridon, a bishop who played an essential role in the First Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.). The saint’s actual body still lies in a sarcophagus inside the church, to the right of the altar. It’s quite an attraction for the faithful.

The bell tower at Saint Spyridon is the highest spot in Corfu. You can see it in the above shot.

Dan was severely chastised when he began to photograph inside the church. This really surprised us, because plenty of photos already exist on the Internet.

We meant no disrespect. Quite the opposite, in fact, because this religious site is important to Corfu and we wanted to share it with our readers.

He was able to get the shots he wanted, though. The caretaker and I became engrossed in a conversation about the church and its patron saint. Apparently Saint Spyridon (b. ~270 AD) is honored in both Eastern and Western Orthodox traditions, and I enjoyed hearing about the miracles that have been credited to him. I could tell that the man was truly proud of his church.

6. Scuola Greca

Many people don’t realize that Jews have lived in Corfu for centuries. At one time, the town had four synagogues, but only Scuola Greca survived the Allied bombings during World War II. Painted yellow on the outside, the Venetian style synagogue was built in the 1800s.

Nearly 50,000 Jews lived in Corfu back then, but these days the population has dwindled down to 60.

7. Beautiful architecture

Travel is all about immersing yourself in a new environment, and that includes its buildings.

Most of the houses in Corfu Old Town date from the 19th century, but you’ll still find the odd arch here and there that is so typical of Venice. Venetian or not, gawking at all the structures is fun.

We enjoyed aimlessly meandering through Corfu’s ancient bougainvillea-laden cobblestone streets. It was fun, peering into intriguing shops and following staircases and alleyways just so we could see where they would lead us.

All that meandering rewarded us with a treat: It brought us to a hill above Corfu and its bay.

8. Shopping in Corfu town

Corfu town is a “living” medieval city. It’s blessed with a delightful maze of winding streets and alleys lined with excellent shops and restaurants.

Any fashionista will revel in the jewelry stores and boutiques selling locally-made dresses and lacy jackets, while others will enjoy the ouzo shops and craft stores featuring pretty embroidered cloths, local soaps and more.

Celebrating a Greek festival: Ohi Day

Sometimes things happen that are beyond your control and you have to adjust your plans. When you travel, it usually seems to work out well in the end. Today we discovered Ohi Day.

As we walked through the streets, Greece’s blue-and-white flags were everywhere. And I mean everywhere. We found ourselves scratching our heads in bewilderment … I mean, this was far above your everyday patriotic display here.

What is Ohi Day about?

We were surprised to discover that today was a national holiday: Ohi Day, the “Anniversary of the No! “

October 28 marks the anniversary of the date in 1940 when Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas rejected an ultimatum he had received Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. In the wee hours of the morning, Mussolini sent a message demanding that Greece allow Axis forces to enter Greek territory and occupy certain unspecified “strategic locations” or otherwise face war. Metaxas refused with the reply, “Alors, c’est la guerre” (Then it is war).

Within an hour Axis troops were at the border and Greece was pulled into World War II. The Greek population took to the streets, shouting “όχι” (No!) and from then on, October 28 has been Ohi Day.

Everywhere we went, students and adults were gathering, preparing for to parade through the Old Town’s streets.

Later in the day, we heard music. The parade was starting! We broke off our sightseeing (okay, wandering) and hurried to watch them pass by. It was worth it. What a colorful experience!

Tip: To experience Ohi Day yourself, plan your trip so you can be in Greece on October 28. It’s an annual holiday throughout Greece and Cyprus.

What to eat in Greece

Eating a foreign cuisine on its home turf is one of the things we most look forward to when we travel. We try to make it a point to try not only as many regional dishes as possible, but to see what is on offer at the markets.

Corfu was our first opportunity to eat Greek food in Greece, although it was hard to settle on a place. They all looked good. The weather was too hot for a heavy cooked lunchtime meal, so we decided to order something light, along with a glass of Mythos, the local brew.

The Greek salad they offered (horiatiki salata) sounded ideal. Except … the Greek salad we got was not what we expected. It came simply dressed with a drizzle of olive oil—no lemon or vinegar—over a big, fat, massive block of feta cheese.

The differences became even more pronounced once we had pushed the cheese aside and realized that there was not a single lettuce leaf in sight.

(And for those of you who have been to Florida’s Greek community in Tarpon Springs, there was no potato salad, either.)

Call us converts. We liked it so much that we ordered the same lunch every day, even when we visited Athens. Actually, these salads were so delicious and so unlike the Greek salads we have had elsewhere, I had to share the recipe as a blog post, My Big, Fat Greek Salad Recipe.

I hope you take the time to make it. I think you’ll prefer it, too. We recommend you enjoy your big fat Greek salad along with a glass of Mythos, the Greek beer. Or a glass of ouzo, if anise liqueur is more to your taste. 😊

Is it worth visiting Corfu for a day?

Corfu is a beautiful and interesting island with plenty to offer tourists. With so many things to do in one day, it’s the perfect destination for those who want to make the most out of their vacation. Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or just relaxing on the beach, you’re bound to find plenty of things to enjoy.

When people ask us what our favorite thing about Greece was, we always say the food! Love a true greek salad. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Great article. Do you know if once you dock on the cruise ship in Corfu is transportation needed to visit these areas, or, can you simply just walk from the cruise port? I appreciate your help. Tina

Thanks, Tina! To answer your question, the cruise terminal is around 1.5 miles (2 km) from Corfu Town. If your cruise ship doesn’t offer a shuttle, you can either walk or pay 1.5 Euro to take the No. 16 bus from the port.

If you’d prefer to walk, it’s level walking, with sidewalks all the way. The sidewalk is a little rough in places, but not a big problem. Just exit the port and turn left. Keep the water to your left until you reach Corfu Town.

I will be visiting here as well as some other Islands while on a Mediterranean Cruise. I typically like to NOT book excursion with the cruise line and do my own planning and exploring. I have read on the NCL’s site that shorts are not allowed while visiting inside the churches. Did you experience this? Will be vacationing in July and wasnt planning on pants and skits for the day.

I don’t blame you. As a rule, shorts and sleeveless shirts are frowned upon in churches and temples, for men as well as women. I don’t know why covering the knees and shoulders are so important, but they are. In any case, it’s been our experience that not all churches enforce the dress code, especially in the most touristed sites. I often carry a large scarf in my bag; it’s easy enough to wrap around my waist or drape over my shoulders if needed. By the way, capri pants are usually acceptable.
